Raiders sign Jeff George

Posted by Adam on August 28th, 2006

The Oakland Raiders seriously signed Jeff George to a contract? Jeez, the guy hasn’t played in 5 years. What, Steve DeBerg wasn’t available?
I doubt he actually plays, but either way it doesn’t sound like a ringing endorsement for Aaron Brooks.

Punk’d meets Wedding Crashers

Posted by Adam on August 27th, 2006

Oh crap. I see some lawsuits coming from this one. Ashton Kutcher’s production company is working on a version of Punk’d that will revolve around a group of actors crashing weddings.
I’ll definitely be curious to see how this plays out. Punk’d can be pretty funny and I could envision some pretty funny stuff going […]

Taller people are smarter?

Posted by Adam on August 26th, 2006

“While researchers have long shown that tall people earn more than their shorter counterparts, it’s not only social discrimination that accounts for this inequality — tall people are just smarter than their height-challenged peers, a new study finds.”
Yeah, that’s why most of the smartest people in the world are in or from Asia. Land […]

Patriots give WR Branch permission to seek trade

Posted by Adam on August 25th, 2006

Deion Branch, the Patriots leading wide receiver and current hold-out, has been given permission by the team to seek a trade.
I gotta admit, I’m a little surprised at this one. They don’t have a huge stable of WRs and he was their best. They already lost David Givens to the Titans. They couldn’t afford […]

Posted by Adam on August 24th, 2006

Former major-league baseball player Albert Belle was sentenced to 90 days in jail and five years’ supervised probation Thursday for stalking his former girlfriend.
The guy’s been arrested twice now for stalking his girlfriend. Can’t believe he’s only getting 90 days. Hopefully the judge was serious when he told Belle that he would send him […]

Face off: baseball bat vs. weed whacker vs. hammer

Posted by Adam on August 24th, 2006

Ah, you gotta love Floridians and their violent ways.
On Tuesday, three lawn workers in Florida got into a fight. But they didn’t go into the scrum empty-handed. One grabbed a baseball bat, the other picked up a weed whacker (”to defend himself”) and a third ran in to break up the fight wielding […]

FCC drops fee for DSL companies, DSL companies just pocket the difference

Posted by Adam on August 24th, 2006

So, it turns out that last year the FCC decided to change their regulations on DSL and drop a fee that was being charged to all DSL subscribers. Great, huh? Your DSL bill will go down a few bucks, right?
Well, not if you are with Verizon or BellSouth. Beginning this month, when the […]

“It’s not mine, I swear”

Posted by Adam on August 23rd, 2006

A 29-year-old guy traveling with his mother to Turkey was stopped at airport when officials found something strange in his bag. Not wanting his mother to know that he had packed a penis pump, he told the officials it was a bomb.
I’ll move right past the part where he’s traveling with his mother yet […]
